I'm biased because I love fluff and I loved the manga series, so I think that Turbo and Kaownah did a great job! Turbo brought the essence of Izumi (Anda) to life. In the manga, Izumi is stubborn, a little naive and passionate, and I feel that Turbo showed those sides of Anda. This adaptation toned down the obsession that Ryoma had, and I think this translated better in live action. While in the manga, it could be shown as comical, but it would be a little too much in real life. Kaownah balanced Ryou out by making him very much in love with Anda, but not turning stalkerish. I was looking forward to the press conference scene, and I think they did a good job.

The changes that I liked were the rewrite of the Rei (Jet) character and the addition of Bank. Although I'm still irritated that they took Rei's glasses away, I like how Jet was warmer and more receptive to Tee than Rei was to Shougo. I also liked that they completely dropped the father subplot. The addition of Bank as a possible antagonist was nice, since his character was not in the manga. Bank started off in an ambiguous way, but in the end, showed his true self after being abused by his previous manager.

The changes I didn't care for were the loss of glasses of Tee and Anda. In the manga, Anda starts as a total otaku with glasses. I also didn't like that they improved Anda's drawing because the viewers did not get treated to the really bad drawings done by Izumi.

I prefer this version much more than the Japanese movie. I feel the actors did not have chemistry in the Japanese version and that some of them were a little too old for the characters.

I don't know if they will film more of this series (manga has 7 volumes) but if they do, I hope they bring back this cast.
